In Ashaway, Oct. 6th, 1870, of consumption, Nathan M. Crandall, eldest son of Lester and Clarissa Crandall, aged 42 years. Bro. Crandall made a profession of religion when about fourteen years of age, and united with the 1st Seventh-day Baptist Church of Hopkinton. His health had been declining for three or four years, but for the past year it was evident that his strength was fast giving way under the power of wasting disease. But as nature declined, his trust in Christ as his all-sufficient Saviour became more firm and comforting, and when the final call came he was able to say, “All is well,” and so calmly fell asleep in Jesus.
